The Uppsala University Library Swedish : Uppsala universitetsbibliotek at Uppsala University in Uppsala , Sweden , consists of 11 subject libraries, one of which is housed in the old main library building, Carolina Rediviva. The library holds books and periodicals, manuscripts, musical scores, pictures, and maps. The exact site of the library during its earliest years is not known, but the university from its foundation in , was located on what became known as "Student Island" in the Fyris River , where the academy mill — now the provincial museum — was later built.
After the construction of the Gustavianum in the s, this building was referred to as the Collegium vetus or Gamla akademien "the old academy" , until it was renamed in through a decision of the consistory university board and called the Academia Carolina , in honour of kings Charles IX , Charles XI and Charles XII. When a new library building was eventually constructed, it received the name Carolina Rediviva , "the revived Carolina", in honour of the old building, but was located to an entirely different place.
As of approximately , the library contained approximately , volumes and 8, manuscripts, including the Codex Argenteus. The library remained in Gustavianum, which luckily escaped the flames in , until Carolina Rediviva was completed in Carolina Rediviva has since retained the status of central library of the university until a reorganization in the s did away with the concept of a centralized library organization and divided the library into a number of branch libraries of equal status, with Carolina being home of one of the branch libraries dedicated to humanities and social sciences.
Nevertheless, the central functions of the library system largely remain in the building, as do the "cultural heritage units" the Department for manuscripts and music and the Department for maps and prints. Parallel to the development of the central library, the "seminars" later called "departments" of the university had their own libraries. Currently, the library's collections are dispersed in the subject libraries.
In most of subject libraries within the Faculties of Arts, Languages and Theology were amalgamated to form the new Karin Boye Library in the English Park Centre for the Humanities, next to the old cemetery. The university library of Uppsala was mainly created through the large donations in the early 17th century of confiscated libraries from monasteries, especially that in Vadstena and the Greyfriars Monastery, Stockholm including the books donated to it by Kanutus Johannis , and the important collection of Baron Hogenskild Bielke who had been executed in and whose library was confiscated by the crown and donated by Gustav Adolph in The many wars in which Sweden took a part in the 17th century brought many important manuscripts and collections to Sweden as spoils of war, some of which eventually ended up in Uppsala.
For example, in Swedish looted from the Polish Kolegium Jezuitów w Braniewie some books and manuscripts. Another example is the Copernicana , the main part of the library of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus , looted by the Swedish Army in Kraków. Later donations and purchases include many archives and collections of various Swedish families and individuals, such as the personal papers of King Gustav III , which were left to the library, to be opened only 50 years after the King's death.
More recently acquired collections include the Bibliotheca Walleriana and the Waller manuscript collection , collected by Dr Erik Waller , and partly donated, partly purchased by the library. It is one of the largest libraries of books concerned with the history of science and medicine, and a manuscript collection mostly of letters from notable scientists. The manuscript collection is in the process of being scanned and published on the web.
The Bodoni collection is the largest collection of prints of Giambattista Bodoni — outside his native Parma. It was donated by the industrialist Erik Kempe in and later extended with funds donated at the same time. The music collections includes the Düben collection [ 3 ] which was accumulated from until by the Düben family, a German family of musicians which included a number of members serving as Hofkapellmeister of the royal court orchestra.
It contains a large selection of 17th-century music, notably important works by Buxtehude not elsewhere preserved. Other music collections are those from the manors of Leufsta and Gimo, the collection of Hugo Alfvén , that of the Joseph Martin Kraus , and the various collections that have been taken as spoils of war, such as the Cancionero de Uppsala , a 16th-century collection of Spanish music printed in Venice and not preserved in any other copy.
The library is headed by a Library Director, the head librarian at the moment Lars Burman. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk. Read Edit View history. Tools Tools.
